Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic cigarettes lack versatility in their working modes, failing to adapt to varying user demands across different time periods, as they are typically preset and do not allow for user customization.
Innovation Solution
An aerosol generating device with a control method that enables users to access a custom mode through a user interface, allowing selection, editing, and saving of smoking modes, including parameters like heating temperature, frequency, and power, which can be stored and recalled, along with predefined modes for different moods, seasons, ages, genders, and health management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If preset working modes are used in conventional electronic cigarettes, then the device structure remains simple, but the adaptability to different user demands and time periods deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic working modes that can be adjusted in real-time based on user input and environmental conditions. The control unit dynamically modifies heating parameters, puff detection sensitivity, and aerosol generation characteristics according to time of day, user preferences, and usage patterns, transforming a static device into an adaptive system that evolves with user needs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes multiple operating parameters including heating temperature, power consumption, puff duration, and aerosol flow rate to create different working modes. By varying these parameters based on time periods and user demands, the system achieves high adaptability without requiring fundamentally different hardware configurations for each mode
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple preset working modes are provided, then the adaptability improves, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to mode selection complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service functionality where the device automatically learns and adapts to user preferences through continuous usage monitoring. The control unit analyzes puff patterns, timing, and intensity to automatically adjust working parameters, eliminating the need for manual mode selection while maintaining adaptability to different user demands and time periods
Solution Approach 2:
The patent pre-configures multiple working modes with different parameter sets optimized for various scenarios (morning, afternoon, evening, different user states). These pre-configured modes are readily available for instant selection or automatic activation, reducing the cognitive load and operational complexity for users while providing comprehensive adaptability
3Adaptability or versatility
If user customization options are added, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal control architecture where a single control unit handles multiple functions including puff detection, heating control, mode selection, parameter adjustment, and data storage. This multi-functional design allows extensive customization capabilities while avoiding the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity
